Dice Control Lesson 5: The Five Skills Necessary to Achieve a
Consistent and Permanent Advantage over the Casinos
Craps is the only casino game in which the player can create his or her own real
edge over the casino. This is done by learning how to control the dice
from the set through the launch and altering the physics of the game -- reducing
the chances of the losing 7 occurring during the point cycle, when the shooter
is trying to repeat his point number: 4,5,6,8,9,10.
Many visitors to this site have read Lessons 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this series of
articles for learning how to use dice control create your own advantage at
casino craps. These lessons concerned how to set the dice, how to spot other craps shooters
who might possess the ability to control the dice and what other writers are
saying about dice control.
If you haven't read Lessons 1 - 4, they are easily found in the AnteUp
Featured Articles section.
I have heard from some of you who have taken these newly developed skills into
the casino, were successful in getting an edge, and won some money.
Dice Control - Lesson 5
1. The Five Skills Necessary to Achieve a Consistent and Permanent
Advantage over the Casinos
2. A Free Gift to Acquaint You With the Most Important of the Five Skills

1. The Five Skills Required to Achieve an Advantage at Craps Using
Dice Control
This Lesson 5 concerns the five skills necessary to achieve a consistent and
permanent edge over the casinos. In my dice
control course called PARR for Patterson Rhythm Roll, we call them the five
linchpins. They are:
- The Set
- The Grip
- The Throw
- The Bet
- The Zone
This last linchpin, the Zone, is the most important and is the subject of the
Free Gift described at the end of this Special Report I will send you at your
request.
The Set is where it starts. Setting the dice puts the losing sevens out of
the way to reduce their chances of hitting. In Casino
Gambling Chapter 12, you were introduced to two sets to accomplish this
objective -- the 6-T Set and the Quick Set both described on pages 128 and 129.
The Quick Set is the easiest -- just make sure, when the dice are returned to
you by the Stickman, that a 7 does NOT show on the side. If one does,
rotate either die a quarter turn to eliminate the losing 7.
The Grip is important because it prepares you to launch the dice with control.
The recommended Grip, a 3-fingered front,
is explained and exhibited in Chapter 12 on page 131.
The Throw itself is performed with the objective of keeping the dice together in
their orbit to minimize their "splatter" during touchdown and roll
against the back wall of the table, thus achieving control. This is
accomplished by launching the dice at about a 45-degree angle. You can
visualize a 45-degree angle by understanding that straight up would be 90
degrees. So 45 is about halfway between the craps table bed and throwing
the dice straight up in the air. The Throw or Delivery is explained on page 130 of Casino
Gambling.
Sharpshooter has proved mathematically that it only takes one throw with control
out of 43 throws to achieve a break-even status against the casino.
Anything above one controlled throw in 43 and you have turned the tables on the
casino and created your own advantage. For example, Sharpshooter has also shown
(on page 124) that if you can throw the dice seven times during the point cycle,
instead of the random six times, you can achieve an advantage of just under 10%
on the 6 and 8 place bets.
Many of our over 500 PARR Players have achieved a Sevens-to-rolls ratio of 1 to
7 or higher.
Imagine how it would feel to make pass line bets and place bets with the
confidence of collecting winnings, sometimes substantial winnings, and have a
monster hand before throwing the losing seven? And all of this based on
your own skill level, not dependent on the shuffle at the blackjack table, or
the spin of the wheel at roulette, or the fickleness of the baccarat cycles of
wins and losses.
Onward to the fourth linchpin.
You were introduced to the fourth linchpin -- the Bet -- in Chapter 13 with
alternative betting tactics to match the degree of risk you wish to take and to
maximize your chances of making a profit on the point cycle -- your rolls, and
numbers hit, before throwing the losing 7. The most important of these are
your pass line bet with odds and the 6 and 8 place bets.
Now comes the most important linchpin of all -- focus and concentration. We
call this "The Zone" and define it as a mental state that allows us to
separate from distractions and focus and concentrate on utilizing the muscle
memory we have developed for the first three linchpins -- the set, the grip and
the throw.
One of the five departed friends I dedicated Casino
Gambling to was Dr. Steven Heller. Dr. Heller was a prominent and
extremely successful practicing psychologist in the Southern California area who
worked with professional athletes showing them how to "zone in" to
make contact with the golf ball or sink the three point shot or make solid
contact and stroke the baseball, for example.
In the gambling world, he shows craps shooters how to easily zone in before each
roll of the dice thus maximizing their chances of throwing another winning
number.
OK, let's get to the Free Gift I mentioned at the top because it concerns Dr.
Heller's application of The Zone to dice control:
2. Free Audiotape
I would like to send you at no cost or obligation an audiotape. It begins
with Doctor Heller talking about The Zone and its importance not only in craps,
but in other walks of life as well. This was recorded about six months
before his death from pancreatic cancer in November 1997. Following Dr.
Heller is a discussion about The Zone in my most recent PARR Class held in Las
Vegas in March 2001. You will hear students discussing their use of the
Zone in casino sessions just an hour or so before the tape was recorded. You
will hear them talk about what it meant to their success and about what happened
when they were in the Zone and what happened and why when they exited the Zone
too quickly.
You will find this audiotape extremely interesting and enlightening even if you
have no interest in purchasing the complete PARR Dice Control Course.
Most important of all, this tape comes with a special deep discount offer for
acquiring The Zone component of my PARR dice control course.
This key fifth linchpin together with Casino
Gambling delivers everything you need to learn dice control on your own.
Everything you need to know to walk up to a craps table with an advantage, with
an excellent chance of creating a hot table, and of throwing number after number
without the losing seven showing and of collecting profits on almost every roll
of the dice.
You may request this audiotape by e-mailing my Nevada office at jpe21@aol.com
and inserting Zone in the Subject Box and your name and mailing address in the
body of the e-mail message.

The Zone by Dr. Steven Heller.

Practice Session.

the magnitude of the advantage that you can create. These higher advantages
